Four Seasons Hotel Madrid Named Five-Star Hotel and Spa in Forbes Travel Guide’s 2026 Star Awards

For the fourth consecutive year, Four Seasons Hotel Madrid has received the Forbes Five-Star Rating, once again renewing the award both for the hotel and spa.

Located only a stone’s throw from some of the main local attractions, the seven historic buildings that make up the Hotel have become a unique and dynamic destination. Rich in history and character, the imposing building (a jewel of Spanish heritage) offers 200 guest rooms and suites as well as a private art collection that includes more than 1,500 pieces. Four Seasons Hotel Madrid is home to two vibrant restaurants: Dani Brasserie by famous Spanish Chef Dani Garcia located on the roof top terrace boasting unparalleled views of the city, and Isa Restaurant & Cocktail Bar serving Asian-inspired creative dishes alongside an outstanding list of signature cocktails, all in the very best atmosphere.

Its interior houses the Spa, an oasis of more than 1,400 square metres (15,000 square feet) over four levels that includes an impressive 14-metre (46 foot) swimming pool beneath a skylight that brings natural light and warmth into the space. Other facilities are also available, such as a steam bath, sauna and solarium from which to enjoy the best views in the city, as well as an extensive list of treatments on offer in its eight treatment rooms (including a double room for couples). It is a unique proposal in the city that reinvents the concept of wellness and luxury to captivate both guests and local residents.

“I feel deeply grateful for the incredible effort and constant dedication of my team, which has been key to achieving this milestone. The Forbes Travel Guide Star Awards are a global benchmark in the industry, and maintaining the highest distinction for three consecutive years, both for the hotel and the spa, is a clear reflection of our commitment to excellence. This hotel continues to set the standard for luxury in Madrid, establishing new benchmarks and consolidating its position as a reference for travellers from around the world, in a city that has become one of Europe’s most vibrant and sought‑after destinations,” says Alejandro Bernabé, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Madrid.
